UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION II 245 PEACHTREE CENTER AVENUE NE, SUITE 1200 ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303-1257 August 8, 2016 Scott Batson Vice President, Oconee Nuclear Station Duke Energy Corporation 7800 Rochester Highway Seneca, SC 29672-0752
SUBJECT:
U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION PARTICIPATION IN THE OCONEE NUCLEAR POWER PLANT EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS EXERCISE OCTOBER 18, 2016
Dear Mr. Batson:
The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) routinely participates in licensees emergency preparedness (EP) exercises to ensure that the NRCs Incident Response (IR) capabilities are effectively maintained, and to provide licensees an opportunity to exercise the interface with the NRC that may occur during the response to an incident at their sites. The purpose of this letter is to inform you of our intent to participate in the Oconee EP Exercise that is scheduled to occur on October 18, 2016, which was previously discussed with Don Crowl of the Oconee EP staff and Tina Kuhr of the Duke Energy EP staff in Charlotte, NC.
The extent of participation will involve Regional response staff. The Regional response will involve activating our Region II Incident Response Center, and sending an NRC Site Team, including our resident inspectors, to your facilities. The Site Team will be responding primarily to your Emergency Operations Facility in Charlotte, NC. We will also have a representative in the State of SC Emergency Operations Center. If our scope of participation changes, we will contact your EP staff to discuss the changes. We will also be coordinating with your staff pre-exercise discussions with our emergency response coordinators (ERCs). These discussions further reinforce concepts related to NRC IR activities.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390, Public inspections, exemptions, requests for withholding of the NRC's "Agency Rules of Practice and Procedure," a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room, or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS); accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
S. Batson 2
If you have any questions concerning our participation, please contact our Senior ERC, Mr. Steven B. Rudisail at 404-997-4512, or me at 404-997-4653.
Sincerely,
/RA/
